COULD BEAT SHERMAN.
Mart Maginnis Says Cleveland
Could DO 1t.


"PreSident Cleveland would beat
John Sherman in New York, said Hon.
Martin MaginniS yesterday afternoon,
''although the Ohio senator, it is well
known, is very strong among the cap
italiStS OF the Empire state. In my
opinion this would be an element of
weakness. rather than strength, espe-
cially among the laboring class, Tor
they have always been I'll ught to regard
Sherman is a friend of monopoly. I'm
doubtedly the labor people viii put Il
ticket in hestield, the same us i'll the
George campaign, but they will not draw
OFF much strength from Mr.. Cleveland.
He is to-day the strongest, and in fact
l consider him the only, available man
i'll the Democratic party for the next
president of the United States. If it is
narrowed down between Sherman and
himself he will win easily, but we might
have to work harder if Blaine
headed the Republican ticket. Il do
not imagine that the battle nag order
will affect Cleveland much in the states
that voted for him at the last election.

is hard to tell what a day may bring
forth. however, in deciding campaign,
but do not think any permanent bad
results will accrue from the presidents
action. To be sure he will be accused
of catering to the diSl0yal element of the
country, but he can Offset this with the
record that he has established of being
the president of the whole country and
not of a section of the United States.
There will be war Democrats who will
naturally feel that their patriotism is at
stake in the ensuing election and declare
that the principles for which they fought
MUST BE MAINTAINED,
but with all these drawbacks Grover
Cleveland will be continued in the
White house for another term. During
the war the Democrats of the North
preserved their party organization by
the bold stand that they took in favor
of the Union and many of them thought
thatgthey should have had better recog-
milton under Democratic adminiStra-
ton than they have had. Does any one
suppose for an instant that if Gen.
Bragg, of Wisconsin. had been at the
head of the war department instead of
Mugwump like EndieOtt. that a blunder
like the recent one would have been
committed? Certainly not, and then,
too, | did not think that Secretary Whit
ney sanctioned such a thing as his aSsO-
ciate i'll the cabinet proposed. But since
the departure of Secretary Manning
from Washington, there has not been
very active part taken by Mr.. Whit
ney in the cabinet deliberations, but he
has allowed things to drift along in the
easiest channel possible. Itwould be a
decided change for the better if the
president would get rid of Secretary
Endicott and puta man in his place like
Gen. SickleS, Of New York, for instance,
thatis. if he did not want to go to the
Northwest for another cabinet officer"
Postmaster General Villas could not
have been consulted on the battle flag
proposition, for he must have known,
as an eX-Uni0n soldier, that the senti-
merit of the country would be aroused
like. a spark in a powder magazine at
the bare suggestion"
